Wrapping Up the Workweek: the Friday Report

Lots happened this week. Lots happens every week.

Alexander McQueen boots were released this week. In a shocking surprise, they were non-superstar and affordable on the Play & Earn program.

Here are the originals

and here are the cute Stardoll ones.

No, I didn't buy them. I would have, had my Play & Earn not ended today.

It seemed with this week's Cyber Tribes theme (I LOVED it, it was like a mix of tribal prints with neon. Thing Darjeeling Limited with the brightness turned up) and I noticed it was heavy on the bright, print minis. Not complaining, I bought the blue one.

In every cute, there's ugly. Here's my personal pick for Ugliest of the Week.

The $7 Fudge pants have a bad fit, weird pattern, and don't go with much other than the interior of a trashcan.

There were also lots of bangles in this collection.

Fresh new Archive this week. I thought it was a bit disjointed, seemed like a train wreck of...Oscars...and Idoru...and African tribal print...and like, 80's workout? Okay, I see now...and then there was a random Merve Bolgur jumpsuit.

Seems to me like a lot of the big brands have reached a standstill. I was reading ELLE (the magazine) whilst getting my hair cut today and saw an ad of the new Alberta Ferretti collection. Super chic, but why haven't they updated it, DKNY, Vivienne Tam, ELLE, Baby Phat, or Miss Sixty in a while? And what about LE and Antidote?
